Curriculum Vitae

Isabel Maria Marques Saraiva de Carvalho

Isabel Saraiva de Carvalho graduated in Biochemistry in 1990 from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. She obtained a Master's degree in Food Science and Technology in 1993 and a PhD in Agronomic Engineering (Plant Biochemistry) in 1999, also from the University of Lisbon. In 2022, she got her Habilitation in Biological Sciences with a specialization in Biochemistry and Biotechnology from the University of Algarve. She joined the University of the Algarve in 1999, in the Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnologies Unit. She is currently an Associate Professor with Aggregation at the University and is a member of the CHANGE Associated Laboratory and the MED research centre. She is also responsible for the UAlg Food Science Laboratory. Throughout her academic career, she has supervised 3 postdoctoral researchers, 8 PhD candidates, 22 master's students, and over 30 undergraduate projects. Her scientific output includes 67 publications in specialized journals and 12 book chapters. In her teaching, she is responsible for several courses in the fields of Biochemistry and Biotechnology. Her research focuses on Natural Sciences and Biological Sciences, particularly Food Biochemistry and Food Biotechnology. The primary aim of her work is to study Mediterranean plants and algae that can be incorporated into human diets, with an emphasis on isolating and identifying natural compounds with bioactive properties. Under her leadership, her research group was among the first globally to study the purslane plant (Portulaca oleracea L.) as a rich source of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Their work has significantly advanced the understanding of the metabolic pathways involved in producing these fatty acids. Currently, her research centers on identifying bioactive compounds in medicinal plants traditionally used by local populations, with particular interest in their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. These compounds have potential applications in health, particularly in the management of type 2 diabetes. Keywords: Food Biotechnology, Medicinal Plants, Food Waste, Phytochemicals, Fatty Acids, Nutraceuticals, Diabetes.

A review of the health benefit potentials of herbal plant infusions and their mechanism of actions. Nowadays, there has been a universal propensity to application of natural phytochemicals accessible in diverse intrinsic rich sources such as fruits, leaves, branches as well as roots of different plants because of existence of substituents with bioactive potentials, well-being advantages and functional ingredients. The preservative consequence of many herbs and spices are proposing the existence. 2015. Farzaneh, V.; Saraiva De Carvalho, Isabel. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/7239.

Plants from the genus Erica are used in many countries to treat several ailments. In this work we intend to evaluate the potential in vivo benefits of Erica australis L. by testing in vitro the effect induced by the plant extract when in contact with BJ fibroblasts (3 and 9 hours) and Caco-2 cells (3, 6 and 24 hours).

Two full-length cDNA clones PoleFAD7 and PoleFAD8, encoding plastidial omega-3 fatty acid desaturases were isolated from purslane (Portulaca oleracea). The encoded enzymes convert linoleic to alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3n-3).
